Why do Koreans grieve: We were founded in 2333 BC, and our territory once spanned half of East Asia?

In recent years, there have been many comments about the historical origin of South Korea, especially the voices made by some scholars in South Korea, which have caused extensive discussions in neighboring countries. South Korea once said sadly that it was a country with a vast territory in 2333 BC, and its culture and medical care were the origins of the cultures of neighboring countries. Even the territory of South Korea once included a large area of Japan, Tibet, Siberia and even China. That is to say, "even half of China is ours". Once this statement was published, it immediately aroused many objections. We can also look through the "old story" together to see if it is as Korean scholars say.

South Korea once published a book called "Huan Tan Gu Ji", in which it was stated that South Korea first established a dynasty in 3898 BC. The name of the dynasty was Beidaguo, and the first monarch was Ju Fahuan.

18 monarchs have changed in the history of more than 15 years. It is also recorded in the book that the monarch of China at that time was Yu Wang, and Chi You was one of the governors of Beida. At that time, the Korean monarch led an army to attack Yu Wang and won the war.

Later, Xuanyuan launched a war against South Korea at that time, and the governors Chiyou and Xuanyuan won after the Zhuolu War, and then captured the land of Huaidai and Jiyan.

Legends about China, such as Yao Shun and Dayu, are also recorded in the book. It is recorded in the book that Shun Di was sent to China by Dangun of Beida to replace Yao Di, and Dayu was able to master the skill of water control because Fu Lou, the prince of Beida, taught him the skill of water control.

In the first half of this book, a large number of historical events about China are designed. Names of people, places and people can be found in ancient books in China, but there is no trace about the authenticity of the events.

What's even more ridiculous is that everything about Beida in the book can't be verified in any historical records, and there is no record. It only exists in this book, which is intriguing. The second half of the book mainly preaches the greatness of Goguryeo Kingdom, fighting in the south and fighting in the north, invincible and so on.

the earliest record of the kingdom of Koguryo dates back to the Sui Dynasty, when the "Three Kingdoms" on the Korean Peninsula stood in the balance: Koguryo, Silla and Baekje. In 589 BC, the Sui Dynasty unified China, and the kingdom of Korea occupied Liaodong Peninsula at that time. In that year, Emperor Yangdi launched three wars of aggression against Koguryo, which not only failed to win, but also hurt the country and was replaced by the Tang Dynasty.

Later, in 645, Tang Emperor Taizong personally launched a war against Koguryo. However, due to Silla's interference, there was no government in Korea, and Baekje was able to strengthen its national strength.

in 65, Silla changed into Tang clothes, honored Tang as the "new moon", and asked the Tang Dynasty to send troops to destroy Baekje. In 668, it destroyed Korea and built Pyongyang as its capital. Since 676, there has been a rare era of great reunification on the Korean peninsula, which is called Silla era.

In the cultural propaganda of South Korea, there once appeared a film set in the Koguryo dynasty, in which the Tang Dynasty was described as a "sinful invader".

Emperor Taizong Li Shimin led a million troops to invade Koguryo, which triggered a great war between the two sides. Instead of winning, Emperor Taizong was beaten out of the water.

Li Shimin depicted in the movie is not only defeated, but also shot blind in one eye by the opponent, and finally runs away. After Li Shimin's defeat, Koguryo pursued her victory and later occupied nearly half of the territory of the Tang Dynasty!

That's not to mention. After the Koguryo dynasty, it went through a war of conquering the south and invading the north, and eventually it occupied most of the territory in Asia.
